Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President Transmitted to Congress December 7, 1903

Memorandum.

Imperial German Embassy,
Washington, February 25, 1903.

Can the chargé d’affaires of the United States remain in charge of German interests in Venezuela until arrival of German minister, Mr. Peldram, at Caracas, about March 16?

If so, could United States chargé d’affaires be instructed to inform the Government of Venezuela that the presentation of the first German draft (for payment of first installment) due March 15, may be possibly delayed for a few days on account of German minister’s late arrival?
